National park Plitvice Lakes is considered one of the most beautiful national parks in the world. Plitvice Lakes make wonderful blend of oak forests, meadows, rocks and lakes. You can explore them by walking along the lakes, by electric train or electric boat. The National Park covers a total area of 300 square kilometres, whilst the lakes join together over a distance of eight kilometres. There’s also quite an altitude difference – the highest point is at 1,280m, the lowest at 380m – although the total height difference between the lakes themselves is only 135m.

On our way to Plitvice we stop and make a short break in Smiljan where is a house where the famous inventor Nikola Tesla was born. At place where he was born now is a memorial center where visitors can see a part of his life told by an interesting story of the museum’s author.
